I mistakenly thought the twin power used the same drag system. I want to use the larger spool for Gts because of the extra line capacity for PE 8. First trip will hopefully be with Nomad. Do you know where I would find a SOM 16000 spool?

SOM No Limits Spools seem very hard to come by at the moment! Others will know better than me if there is an Australian outlet with stock.
Most of the obvious overseas tackle suppliers seem to be out as well, but JDM Tackle are listing it as in stock on their website, and I know that Xpedition Tackle in Singapore have some (although their website says sold out).

Actually I believe they do have the same Hyper disc drag. I don't think you would need that extra capacity though. I assume you would be tossing poppers form a boat that is not anchored? Therefore you can chase them down.
Peter Childs:
Hey guys, I thought the twinpower spool and stella spool were identical (apart from the cosmetic differnces of course) I've been running the two side by side with no perceptable difference. Can anyone shed any more light on any differences?
Mark Gwynne:
I thought they were the same apart from the cosmetics.
Mark Harris:
Hmmm. I am not sure they are identical, rather just very similar.
Eg: I read that the max drag of a Stella SW 10000 is 23 kg versus 22 kg for the larger Twinpower SW 12000.
Hard to find this info from Shimano though as they tend to publish "Ideal drag" (whatever that means) rather than Max drags.
